I was pondering our debate yesterday on Sweeney......

Posted by groiny (aka groiny) Dec 29 '11, 08:06

you had mentioned that he had 17 homers in his career before coming to Boston.....

Ellsbury had career homers at 20 coming into this season (2 full time seasons of 9 and 8 IIRC), he hit 32. Ellsbury is 28, which is 2 years older than Sweeney.

I am not saying Sweeney is going to hit 32, but using that logic does not really work anymore with # of homers up until "x" point.

I think, if he plays almost full time, that you will be very happy with the "throw in" player you got in the Bailey deal, and when Bailey gets injured, you will not be that upset with the deal.

I'm very happy with him as our 4th of already. - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 29, 08:10 5

  - Sweeney is at best a platoon guy. He hit .150 against lefties last year. - Will Hunting Dec 29, 08:15 3
    - 3 year average of .299 and .354 with a .750 OPS vs righties is not bad for 400 AB. - groiny Dec 29, 08:20
    - He's at best the placeholder for kalish. -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 29, 08:18 1
      - since I have not seen much of Kalish, I cannot say for sure, but I do not see - groiny Dec 29, 08:21
